Publisher's summary

The Napoleon Hill Foundation received many requests from people wanting the original, unedited, 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those customers, the Foundation reproduced Napoleon Hill’s personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, “not to be loaned”, and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill’s was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill. It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as “Uncle Nap” and will often make the statement, "Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today." The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time.

Think and Grow Rich sells more copies today than before Dr. Hill died in 1970. Now, a new and authoritative recording of this original, unedited, one-of-a-kind work, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation is available. By purchasing this audio edition, you will be supporting the nonprofit Napoleon Hill Foundation. The entire philosophy of Napoleon Hill is based on the Golden Rule. The Foundation deeply appreciates the support of those of you who only purchase Napoleon Hill authorized books. You can identify these materials by the Foundation Logo and by looking inside for Napoleon Hill copyright.

excellent remember of core habits.

don't be offended by some of the time periods gender bias descriptions. key principles still apply today.

one of my favourite books of all time.

one of my favourite books of all time. read it first about 20 years ago. each read / listen brings new principles to light. highly recommended.

Great Read!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Loaded with lessons , could reread over and over. Just awesome sauce.

An all time classic

I loved it and will always come back to this. Shared it with my family and friends.

Amazing, I never knew I was such a shit.

This book forced me to reexamine who I am and what I have become and the pic is not beautiful. I must change if I'm ever going to achieve my human potential

Relevant in 2019

I'm surprised at how relevant this book still is, although I don't agree with much of the pseudo-new age philosophy. Nevertheless, it has an important message about seizing what can be yours and getting out of your own way.

Classic read of all time!

This is a workbook that has got the syntax of success written on every page. Read, re-read and re-read again until you accomplish whatever your mind had conceived.

Amazing book, a must read for everyone

This book changed my life for the better both in tangible and intangible ways. Read it with an open mind, apply what it's said and both your life and your outlook on life will change.

It certainly is a book everyone should read. I cannot recommend this enough.

The Secret

I think this is where The Secret comes from originally. Its interesting to see how wealthy people think about money. This book does not give you practical guides to wealth. It teaches you how to attract money.

This version, read by Fred Stella, is THE version to buy

The book Think and Grow Rich is a classic. If you were to ask any author who writes on success, motivation, or self improvement my guess is each one would recommend this book.

The book, originally published in 1937, is now available online for free because copyrights have lapsed and that has led to more recent print editions having slight changes to the original text.

This audio is true to the original text and I find Fred's voice, pace and style to be the most enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this version as well as Fred's reading of Napoleon Hill's Laws of Success also here on Audible.
